Product Description

For untold centuries, the shaman was the tribe's most revered and respected member, possessing the unique ability to tap into the universal source of wisdom by journeying deep within the self -- seeking, and finding, answers to pressing questions, achieving profound understanding by avoiding the stumbling blocks of the outer material world.

Developing techniques for communicating with the innermost world of the spirit can be a valuable boon in these modern times with their contemporary problems and concerns. Through a series of easy-to-follow exercises, lessons, and rituals, psychologist Jose Stevens and wife, Lena, can show you how to identify your inner spiritual guides -- and how, through a unique and powerful communication with them, you can achieve undreamed-of professional success, psychological enlightenment, and personal fulfillment ... and completely change the way you live your life.

Customer Reviews

fluffy and generic
This book uses the word "shaman" the way many of us use the words "Kleenex" or "Xerox".
There are no "secrets" in this book. Its just very vague in a "new age feel good" kinda way. The lessons are contrived and the exercises to try at home are quite useless.
This book has NOTHING to do with Native American Tribal Spirituality.
Native Americans do not use the word Shaman. Each tribe has a different set of beliefs and practices.
They only teach their spirituality orally, not in books. Please keep that in mind.

I have studied paganism, neo- paganism of all sorts. I have a library at home of over 500 books and this is the only one that disappointed me so much i actually considered asking for my money back.

Nice Meditations and Visualizations
I really enjoy the meditations and visualizations contained in this book, it's the kind you don't usually find anywhere and they're very powerful.

I would have preferred it in a trade paperback size or larger instead of its pocketbook size; there's too much important info in this book for such small packaging.

Secrets of Shamanism: Tapping the Spirit Power Within You
Interesting, but doesn't match my physical and menthal condition. These excesises break the balance of tension and relaxation in my body, and I become more self-content and less of service to others. However, the experience with shaman jorneys cast another light on that. Everything envisioned seems true!
